I need to replace all the silicone joiners on the intercooler, From the one from the throttle body to intake pipe, from intake pipe to intercooler piping, I measured them all. I measured 3in on the hose from intercooler piping to intake pipe but have read that people are using 2 1/2 in hose/joiner. And i would take it that the throttle body one would be 3in plus?

Its a standard intake system so if anyone knows the sizes i need as mine are drying out and all crappy, and think is causing a boost like.

All the info you guys have would be a great help

cheers guys

I think i have my originals in a box at home if that helps? But if you can its probably better to put fresh ones on if you are going to the effort :)

I think i have a spare 3" joiner from my setup, if i remember i can try it on the old pipes and let you know..... Send me a message tonight and ill go down the shed and try it out :)

Cheers heaps mate, your 34 sounds like a bit of a weapon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hoping to push 250+ kw, need to up grade the turbo fist, Got standard turbo now

and made 213.7 rwkw on 11 psi, which i was quite happy with.

But now i think there is a leak so need to change the silicone joiners!

Pretty good result with a stock turbo, you can run 250-270 with a high flow (plus the basics like injectors and ECU etc)....

Are you sure its the joiners mate? Any shops able to do a quick smoke test for you? It would be a good idea to check before replacing too many parts :)

Yeah mine is good fun! They are a great car in general!

Most of hoses need replacing so i am just gonna go through replacing bit by bit.

Had a hole bunch of boost issues when i put an apexi AVC type r in. But once a new tune with

nistune havent had any issues until a week ago and when under hard acceleration it slow drops

boost so i have just gathers that there is a boost leak some where.

I have been looking at high flowing the turbo, but it cost as much as a new turbo.

Hmmm make sure its not your BOV too, its pretty rare but mine was leaking under full boost and when i replaced it with a GFB plumbed back it was fixed (This is pretty uncommon from what i see on here though)

But yeah i'd be checking all the clamps are tight and the hoses (which you are).... Front mount or still side mount?

I had the same issue with BOV earlier on but changed that to a GReedy BOV

I have FMIC a Blitz return flow one.

I think it is the joiners that a Fingered, been wanting to change for a while but every time i go get some,

i ask people what size to get and they always say you need to measure them, I have. tried looking it up, some say

toy use 2 1/2 joiners and stretch over, some say to use 2.5 into 2.75 and so on. So hope i can get some

good info on what to use and smash it out and see if that is the issue.

Car toys here in adelaide but they can be a bit pricey some times

I am looking a justjap.com and was hoping to get it off them.

Bit cheaper, keep getting told that turbosmart make kits but cant find them either

I cant imagine them being an off the shelf kit.... My cars done 145km and was running the stock ones up until a few thousand k's ago! I would still be triple checking other stuff ;)

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
